The Mayo Clinic has a team based approach to curative therapy to breast cancer or life prolonging therapy for incurable disease. In both scenarios patients are considered survivors, and it is important to provide innovative, personalized treatment plans to minimize harm and align with individual preferences and values. The book covers common topics, and discussions on lifestyle recommendations, cancer surveillance, side effects management, living with metastatic breast cancer, clinical trials, integrative therapy, sexual health, fertility and pregnancy, relationships and finance. There is a chapter specific to caregivers and partners of people with breast cancer. This guide covers a wide range of topics to support your holistic well-being. It is not just about survival, it encourages breast cancer patients to embrace the life they were meant to live.
